4.0 out of 5 stars Compared To Krautrock, Soul Jazz, and Post Rock, May 10, 2001
By russtolman (San Francisco, CA United States) - See all my reviews
On paper it seems strange for the psychedelic jazz band MUSHROOM to hook up with punk blues singer Gary Floyd of Sister Double Happiness. But these guys do a super groove version of the Les McCann/Eddie Harris hit Compared To What. Some hot trumpet playing c/o of Jon Birdsong who has spent the past 3 years playing with Beck. And Michael Bluestein does some wicked piano playing and analog synth - that gives the song sort of a space rock overtone. The rest of the CD is all instrumental that is in 1970's Krautrock meets soul jazz vibe and includes a REMIX by Krautrock legends FAUST and one by Tortoise/Gastr del Sol man Bundy K Brown. The Bundy K Brown mix sounds like a mix of electronica and early Pink Floyd. very trippy and weird and is about 20 mins long ! overall a great CD for jamming, tripping and dancing.

3.0 out of 5 stars Mushroom - 'Compared to What' (Innerspace Records), November 1, 2006
Liked their 'Glazed Popems' 2-CD effort better(see my review). 'Compared To What' is mostly instrumental. Final two tracks are the absolute best pieces this Avant Garde/progressive title has to offer, the 23-minute trippy "Americans Own The Moon" and the 14-minute jazzy "Connecting The Molecules With The Light". Maybe not a classic, but worth checking out. Also sort of liked the somewhat amusing "Let's Have Sex" and "Foxy Music". Should appeal to fans of Daevid Allen, Monks Of Doom, Oresund Space Collective and possibly Ozric Tentacles.
